Strong's Lexicon pagar: Corpse, carcass, dead body Original Word: פָגַר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be flabby or to be exhausted Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "pagar" is "πτῶμα" (ptoma - Strong's Greek 4430), which also means a fallen body or corpse. Usage: The Hebrew word "pagar" refers to a dead body or carcass, often used in the context of a lifeless form, whether human or animal. It conveys the idea of something that was once alive but is now devoid of life and vitality. The term is used to describe physical death and the resulting state of the body. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, contact with a dead body rendered a person ceremonially unclean, as outlined in the Mosaic Law (Numbers 19:11-13). This reflects the broader cultural and religious understanding of death as a state of impurity and separation from the living. The treatment of dead bodies was governed by specific rituals and practices to maintain purity and honor the deceased.
